Economy
Value
Sold it after two years for £11K less that I bought it, rubbish.
Costs
Service was expensive, especially given the poor dealer service - they had no record of me booking it in.

On the road
Driving
Turbo lag annoying when trying to make a quick getaway from the lights, but you could throw it into any corner and it'd bring you out the other end unscathed.
Performance
Other than the turbo lag, it went pretty well. No need to drop a gear on the motorway for it to pick up pace pretty quickly.

Living with it
Reliability
No engine problems but it went back 11 times for electrical problems with the roof, windows and keys (had 5 new keys in 2 years!)

Still gets looks and all your mates have heard of the car
Comfort
Pretty hard ride - made the whole car shake and seats wobble a lot.

Security and Service
Security
I locked both sets of keys in the boot (don't ask!) and it took the AA 2.5 hrs to get them out, and only because the lock on the emergency boot release compartment broke.
Service
Wasn't booked in for a service when I turned up and was promised they'd call when a new key came in stock, 6 months later I gave them a call and they knew nothing about it.
